Default Universal Delorean March 2010

Ok. Someone with money to burn needs to make Universal an offer for this car or at least save it!

I saw it a few months ago when I went to universal for the first time and it was in very sad shape.

However, now with the harry potter island opening a friend of mine said its sitting in the back being refurb'd... Universal never seems to take care of stuff until it is needed

supposedly that car is one of the hero cars from part 2 or something..

What's a hero car?

This doesn't look like a screen used DeLorean to me... the front end isn't lowered, and it has a flat hood. Perhaps it's one of the repro cars from the BTTF ride? I'm no BTTF expert though... we need a "trekkie" to chime in here.

Isn't one of the authentic screen-used DeLoreans sitting rotting in a gravel lot on a tram tour at Universal?

hero- highly detailed prop used for close ups and such

stunt - detailed but only enough so at a glance it looks like the hero prop


thats what I understand from reading up on 501st armor junk

it could be the car from the ride..its probably been covered and verified here.. no .. it has lol

This was only used in part 3 for about two seconds. Its the car that pops a wheelie on the track near the end. It was built for this one particular stunt. This is also the car from the ride. Its the one Biff steals and the one seen in the queue line on the overhead monitors with Doc.
